Micah went to visit his grandfather, who was the same as before, sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious. His condition hadn't worsened or improved.

His primary physician told Micah that as long as his grandfather was stable and not getting worse, this was a positive sign. With continued treatment, his grandfather would gradually recover. Micah breathed a sigh of relief, trusting that it was only a matter of time before his grandfather would wake up.

When his grandfather found out the good news, he was certain to be overjoyed.

Micah could hardly wait to start planning the wedding, wanting to give Sadie and the kids a stable and happy home.

There was an issue at the company, and Ryan personally made a call, urgently needing Micah to come back and handle it.

Upon returning to the company, Micah was transformed from the once cold and haughty figure he used to be into someone approachable.

As Micah entered the office building, he was greeted by the security and reception staff who stood in neat rows, respectfully saluting him. "Good morning, Mr. Clemens!"

"Good morning, everyone!" Micah responded for the first time.

Everyone was stunned. The Mr. Clemens who was once so aloof, who seemed to stand at the summit and never glanced at them, nor ever responded, was actually greeting them this morning? The employees looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard.

Or had Mr. Clemens changed his ways after not being in the company for a few days?

Micah walked into the elevator with a smile on his lips.

Andrew, of course, knew what was going on and was happy for Micah.

Micah had finally warmed up, the proverbial iceberg had melted, and the iron tree had bloomed.

Arriving on the 68th floor at Micah's office, Victoria was already leading the staff waiting at the elevator doors, all of them bending at the waist to greet Micah. "Good morning, Mr. Clemens!" "Good morning, everyone. You've all been working hard," Micah replied amiably. "Breakfast is on me today, just head down to the 17th floor and order whatever you'd like." Everyone was stunned.

Was this Mr. Clemens? Was it the same Mr. Clemens who was cold and detached?

"What are you all standing around for?" Micah frowned, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

The secretaries all nodded. "We heard, we heard!"

"Thank you, Mr. Clemens," Victoria was the quickest to respond.

"Thank you, Mr. Clemens," everyone else followed suit.

"Hmm, don't let it interfere with your work," Micah added. "Go in shifts."

"Yes!" They all thanked him again.

"Mr. Clemens, Mr. Wood and the others are already waiting in the conference room..."

Victoria led Micah into his office, updating him on some of the company's business for the week.

Micah had been busy dealing with family stuff in the past few days and hadn't been to the company, though he still reviewed documents daily. But a lot of work had piled up.

As Micah stepped into his office, Ryan and the others immediately stood up. "Mr. Clemens!"

Micah waved a hand and invited the gathered executives to sit down. "No need to stand on ceremony, please, take a seat. You haven't had breakfast, right? Me neither. Shall we have it together?"

The board members exchanged puzzled looks. Had they misunderstood him, or was there a deeper meaning behind Mr. Clemens' invitation?

"Micah to Andrew," Micah called out.

"Present!" Andrew stepped forward.

"Get breakfast ready from the 17th floor and bring it up," Micah instructed, then glanced at his watch before engaging in friendly chit-chat with the executives. "You've been working hard these past days. I've been busy with some family matters, so the company has been under your care."

"It's no trouble at all," the executives humbly responded, feeling a mix of flattery and apprehension, as they wondered what Micah was planning next.

"Mr. Clemens, is everything alright at home?" Ryan, knowing about Micah's grandfather's illness, wondered if something had happened to him. Perhaps Micah was trying to win over these seasoned veterans.

"Everything's fine," Micah assured, a smile touching the corners of his mouth. "In a few days, I'll be announcing some good news."

"Good news?" The executives were surprised.

With the company facing issues and Micah's grandfather's prolonged absence, what good news could there be?
